I've been thinking too much
I just want to live now for a little while
And cast my dreams to the wind

曲:Shine - Take That

an Audience with Take That on the bio channel on monday was great - it was so fun watching take that sing all their hit songs again, songs that i listened to in my primary school years because mummy loved their songs so much she'd put the cd player on loud when she mops and does the chores ever weekend. =)

i saw this in thesun.co.uk, listed below are the most popular baby names in Britain in the year 2008, its amazing man!

BOYS
1. JACK; 2. OLIVER; 3. HARRY; 4. CHARLIE; 5. ALFIE; 6. THOMAS; 7. JOSHUA; 8. DANIEL; 9. JAMES; 10. WILLIAM;

i mean, why is [JACK] top for 14 years running? and [ALFIE]? is that a british thing? [ALFIE] reminds me of the tortoise in Esio Trot, the Roald Dahl story. the only boy name i like in this list is probably [OLIVER], but i didnt know it was so popular. im not one for over the top weird names like Bronx Mowgli or what, but something rare but not weird would be nice. though what i dont know yet. haha.

GIRLS
1. OLIVIA; 2. RUBY; 3. GRACE; 4. EMILY; 5. JESSICA; 6. SOPHIE; 7. CHLOE; 8. LILY; 9. MIA; 10. LUCY

mia, [MIA] is at 9th and [AMELIA] is 11th, haha. chloe very lao tao alr leh. and [LUCY]?! wahh.. still hit top 10 man, im amazed. i think in the whole world, baby name ranking no. 1 is probably AIDEN/AYDEN/AIDAN/AADEN for boys if im not wrong, so mothers-to-be, please stop naming your child Aiden, he'll grow up with millions of Aidens.

and somehow i like this name - IMOGEN. i think its very quietly pretty. it has a Gaelic and English origin, which i totally love, and somehow you conjure up an image of a beautiful girl with beautiful blue-gray or dark purple eyes.. haha. if i was not Velda, id like to be Imogen. and there are no Imogen Tans, or Lims, or singaporean Imogens yet. haha.

i like baby names, i think they are so fun. please someone let me have the honour of naming ur baby! Ill call the girl Imogen and the boy.. hmm.. something unisex like jules. HAHAA! guys name must think longer ah.

velda.

PS i think i got my PA elective successfully.. yay for me! but im worried about french 2 now. how can i not get it? please please please.. =)
